Srinagar, May 11: Jammu Kashmir People’s Movement (JKPM) has expressed shock and dismay over the rape of a three-year-old child in Trigam, Sumbal and called for a speedy probe in the matter.
A party statement issued to media said that a delegation of JKPM led by Shehla Rashid Shora on Saturday visited the family of the victim who was raped by a 20-year-old man in Trigam, Sumbal.
Expressing solidarity with the family, Shehla Rashid said, “JKPM strongly condemns the incident, and we call for the strictest possible punishment to the perpetrator. Incidents like these are becoming a regular occurrence in our valley now, something that calls for urgent measures, including widespread social awareness.”
We assure full support to the family and stand with them in their fight for justice. We also admire the strong stance taken by the people of Trigam, Sumbal against the rape incident, she said.
Pledging all possible support to the family, Shehla said, “We are moved by the condition of the family. We have done what was possible for us, and we also urge all sections of the society to come forward and help the family.”
Expressing concern about the violation of privacy of the child, Shehla said, “JKPM urges all responsible members of the society to desist from revealing the name of the rape survivor. It is both against the law of the land, as well as against basic tenets of decency.”
